Jack Devlin, Senior Chief Operations Specalist USN (Ret.)
Class of 1961
Navy, 20+ Years
Joined the Navy just after recieving my Draft Notice to report...really went down to join the Air Force and got off at the wrong El stop so I joinrd the Navy given they had a Recruiting Station on 13th Street...needless to say I found a home and moved though the ranks VERY quickly, E-8 in 12 years and selected for E-9 at 19 years. Must have been those 12+ years serving on Two and Three Star Staffs' and my Computer/EE degrees that helped. I retiired in 1981 and became a Consultant to the same Commmand as I served with before retirement. I was recruited to "DEC" Digital Equipment Corporation as Marketing and Business Devlopment for the Ferderal,State and Local Government organization. Additionally I supported Health Care, EDU, and a few other groups. Left DEC on beforew thier down-turn and sale. Started my own Executive Search Firm supporting High Tech Industry. Had theer offices in three states with 20+ Search Consutants. Retired in 2006 leaving Massachusetts in my rear view mirror at 90 MPH. Currently my Bride and me are living in The Villages: http::WWW TheVillages.com Here's what we are doing today !
As a master planned retirement community, The Villages offers numerous forms of recreation. The majority of the costs are paid for via the monthly amenities fee assessed to residents (the facilities are owned by the centralized CDD's.
Golf Courses
The centerpiece of The Villages is its numerous assortment of golf courses. The ability to play golf for free year-round is a key component of The Villages advertising campaigns. As of April 2010 The Villages operates 37 courses.
Twenty-eight of the courses are executive golf courses, all of which are 9-hole layouts. It is these courses at which residents of The Villages can play free golf for life and can walk the courses for free as well; fees are charged for riding a golf cart on the courses.
The remaining nine courses are country club championship courses Among notable course architects are Arnold Palmer and Nancy Lopez. The Orange Blossom Hills and Tierra Del Sol clubs are 18-hole layouts; the other seven clubs are 27-hole layouts. Residents of The Villages are automatically members of these clubs; however, unlike the executive courses residents must pay green fees to play the courses and the clubs charge for priority tee times.
The Villages also operates a golf instruction academy for all skill levels.
Recreation Centers
In addition, The Villages operates numerous recreation centers. There are three classes of centers (the number shown are as of April 2010):
"neighborhood" (these centers offer local adult-only pools, plus bocce, horseshoe, and shuffleboard courts; The Villages operates 25 such centers)],"village" (these centers offer family pools, facilities with billiard meeting rooms and full kitchens, bocce, horseshoe, and shuffleboard courts, plus tennis and pickleball courts; The Villages operates 17 such centers, and "regional" (these centers offer sports pools, larger venues with stages for theatric and musical productions, fitness centers, and many of the same features as the village centers; The Villages operates eight such centers)
Other Activities
Beyond the golf courses and recreation centers, The Villages also operates numerous softball fields, a polo stadium (The Villages Polo Stadium)and a woodworking shop, plus the Lifelong Learning College[38].
Nightly activities are held in The Villages two town squares Lake Sumter Landing's Market Square [40] and Spanish Springs Town Square . A third town square, Brownwood Paddock Square, is under construction.
